Some of the world's largest airlines are banning bulk shipments of rechargeable batteries in the face of mounting evidence of their potential to cause catastrophic in-flight fires.
Citing safety concerns, United Airlines on Monday became the second major U. S. airline to announce it will no longer accept bulk shipments of rechargeable batteries, also called lithium-ion batteries, which are used to power everything from smartphones to laptops to power tools.
The airline said in a statement that it took the action in response to government testing and concerns raised by its pilots and flight attendants.
Placing batteries inside equipment like laptops or in the same package as power tools creates additional buffering and is believed to provide added protection, although safety experts say that theory hasn't been fully tested.
Federal Aviation Administration tests over the past year show that when a battery overheats it can cause other nearby batteries to short-circuit and overheat, resulting in a chain reaction.
The most recent tests were conducted last month at the FAA's technical center in Atlantic City, N.

To open the center's new season in September, Moran will break out of his traditional jazz role to lead a festival on skateboarding, music and media — complete with an outdoor skateboarding ramp.
Fridays@9 will offer a later start time, a mix of classic and modern music, and cocktails allowed in the concert hall.

Winter Park Resort and Amtrak are adding a second ski train trip after the first one sold out in 10 hours.
They announced Tuesday that the ski train will run March 15 in addition to the trip on March 14 in honor of the resort's 75th anniversary.
The resort says the strong response to an alternative to driving in traffic to the mountains helps build the case for eventually resuming regular train service.
The Amtrak train will deposit skiers steps from the lifts, just as a private train did from 1940, when the resort opened, until 2009.
